If you really believe that, and you know I respect your intellect: you would not use a term such as TRANSPHOBIC because the truth is that there is NO SUCH THING as TRANSPHOBIC. defined in 2022 terms as the following: having or showing a dislike of or prejudice against transgender or transsexual people: "bullying is commonly underpinned by sexist, homophobic, or transphobic attitudes. That entire sentence not only is NOT THE TRUTH.. it has no real place in the reality of human beings or biology. Trans which root word comes from Transformation which means changing from one form to another, loosely defined and traditionally understood to mean changing into a new form of being, which is not possible unless one is an insect. Phobic, well that would be an obsession or a phobia usually meaning dislike or distaste of an entity. I am sorry, I cannot let that pass. The TRUTH DOES NOT LIE IN WOKE DEFINITIONS which are attempting to rewrite the basic truths of biology and what it means to be a human being or the science of the biology of creation. Anyway, have a great evening. I won't address the racist part because I believe that a loving Creator God created all of us regardless of our skin color.. we are HIS creations for HIS reasons and none of those reasons include racism or trans phobism. I have not spent the past 60 years of my life studying this WORLD through the lens of my experience of a long life filled living a huge chunk of life: loss, loving, receiving and giving.. the whole gamut to be told what TRUTH IS on Substack regardless of my fondness for you. Take care. Isabella.
Isabella, I completely understand what you are saying. But I am not talking to you with this article. I am talking to them. Using their language - the people who are using our language to divide us. I bring an olive branch to those being deceived. That branch is not extended to those behind the curtain. My goal is to have conversations with people. Find common ground in Rationalizing. In logic. It can be done, because I am a testament to that, I didn't always see things the way I do now. It took a lot of conversations to get here.
The words we choose to use are very important, I agree. I'm not conforming, I am seeing the same objective as you but taking a different strategy to see what its' weaknesses are. HOw can we beat it? I call it using logic and "word jiu jitsu." To be good at word jiu jitsu we need to be able to convey logic first, then language- not vice versa. Please consider you should be putting more value on logic first, before language. It is the equivalent of "form follows function" when talking about design. We need logic first.
Your and my logic is the same. But you can't just re-glue the damage that is being done by fighting our language vs their language. They have TV channels, and celebrities, and writers, and academics, and social media companies captured. How can we can compete with that? we can't.
But we can do is pull back the curtain. Or better yet, teach people how to pull back the curtain for themselves.
There is a way. Please don't leave. We are on the same side. And we can't do this alone -that much I am willing to bet my life on.
sorry. xoxo my sister is calling me and I seem to never get any rest. I am working on a math algorithm right now for real.. I may have to just not answer email or do substack until evening. I knew you didn't mean me.. you are right about those issues. of course I won't leave.. your Transparency project is vital.. :) Isabell..
Amen.

Two people or more is a movement.

Good point. Truth is truth only if the right people say it. This is disgraceful legacy of the covid / BLM era.
A basic grounding in Euclid and Aristotle would have prevented much of the damage --
